Alex Carpenter and Gabrielle David scored just nine seconds apart, while Anna Wilgren added her third goal in two games, leading the Seattle Torrent to a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Frost. This win marked Seattle’s first in the series, securing them three draft-order points and the top spot in the Gold Plan standings, which offers a chance at the first overall pick in the PWHL entry draft. Despite Minnesota having already clinched third place and winning the previous three games against Seattle, the Torrent managed to break their streak. Hilary Knight’s goal early in the third period gave Seattle a decisive lead. Minnesota’s Kelly Pannek made history by becoming the first player in PWHL history to reach 30 points in a season. The teams will play their final regular-season games on Saturday, with Minnesota facing Vancouver and Seattle hosting Montreal.
